Job Description

$40–$60/hr | No Weekends | No Late Nights | Groom One Dog at a Time

Location: Everett, WA – must live within 30 minutes of 6628 Evergreen Way

Why Groomers Choose FLFZ 🐾

• Earn $40–$60/hr with commission, tips, and bonuses
• Paid even if a client cancels (hourly base = safety net)
• No weekends, no late nights — you’re home by dinner
• Your book, your hours — Wed–Fri shifts are yours to set (6 or 8 hours)

You Groom, We Handle the Rest 🛎️

• Call center answers phones — no mid-groom interruptions
• Receptionist greets clients and can run checkout
• Grooming lounge — clients wait comfortably if needed
• Groomer text alerts (software-based) — text a 15-min heads-up so pickups are on time
• Automatic text/email reminders — software sends them for you

🌿 A Calmer Place to Groom

• Grooming area is a separate room with a door in the middle of the building
• No windows to outside — no street noise or distractions
• Only noise = daycare dog barks at drop-off/pick-up (2–3 times per 12-hr shift)
• Noise level:  Dryers are the loudest sound you’ll hear
• Quieter space = calmer dogs, smoother grooms, less stress

🚨 Work on One Dog At A Time — Start to Finish

• You groom one dog completely before moving to the next
• Most grooms take ~1 hour = more dogs, more money
• Dogs stay calmer, you stay focused, and you finish faster

Steady Pipeline 🐶

• Regular clients from our daycare, vacation care, and walking services
• Built-in repeat business keeps your book full

How Pay Works 💵

1. Base: $16.66/hr (always paid)
2. Bonuses: $5 per rebook + 5% of each client you bring (for 12 months)
3. Tips: 100% yours — no card fees
4. Tiered commission that grows as you do:

• 20% if you groom up to $350/day (about 2 small dogs or 1 large + a bath)
• 25% on $351–$500/day (about 5 small dogs)
• 30% once you pass $501+/day (6+ small dogs or 3 large dogs)

💡 Example: 5 small dogs ($95 each = $475) = 25% commission. Add base, tips (~$75), and rebooks → about $319/day or $53/hr.

• Paid sick leave (mental health days too)
• Discounts on daycare, boarding, and grooming
• Optional free cell line or bus pass
